Brandon A week had passed since the infamous break at my office. It had been all over the news and it had given investors another reason to doubt McClean Pharmaceuticals. I had been busy all week trying to prove that nothing vital had been missing from the company. At least nothing that could hurt us. The week had gone by so fast that when Dr. Allison called me the day before to remind me of the twin’s surgery, I had been a little surprised. Now I stood just outside at the doctor's lounge, pacing back and forth and waiting anxiously for any news from the surgical team. “Do you know the twins?” a small but beautiful voice reached my ears. Something strange had also happened just before the surgery. Salma had not been able to find someone to watch the girl, and at the very last minute when she saw me, she handed her off to me with a warning not to let her wander off by herself. “I met them once,” I said to her, squatting so that we could be at the same eye level. “You look very w

Salma “Good job everyone,” Dr. Allison said as we concluded the surgery. Everyone clapped their hands at the successful completion of the separation surgery. I heaved in relief, grateful that the surgery that had made me stay in Texas was now over. An hour later, I entered the doctor's lounge after having changed from my surgical scrubs to my regular clothes. “Freddie,” I was happy to see my assistant, “you're here.” “Yes,” he said, “I'm sorry I came pretty late.” “It's alright. I had a friend… I mean I had someone look after Leona.” A smile brushed my lips as I examined her sleeping figure on the sofa. She had a suit jacket as a makeshift blanket. My guess was that the jacket belonged to Brandon, who had babysat her only hours earlier. A frown crossed my face to find the lounge empty of Brandon. Where has he gone off to? “Was uhm… Leona was not alone when you came in, right?” I asked Freddie. “No, she was with Mr. McClean. I was a bit surprised, given you do not like him at

Brandon I was in my office responding to emails when my secretary, Rose, called to inform me that I had a Dr. Gascon who insisted on seeing me. My heart thudded in my chest at the name. Even though I disliked her, my heart still raced at the mention of her name or whenever she walked into a room. “Please let her in,” I told Rose. I straightened my posture in my seat and waited for her to walk into my office. I was aware Salma was gorgeous but today it felt like she had chosen her outfit deliberately to appear so. She had on a silk dress that wrapped her figure in curvaceous waves. Her hair was let down in cascading waves that dropped to her lower back and her blue eyes were clear and well rested.The tinge of anger in them also gave her eyes a luminous shine. I had to clear my throat before I could speak. “What brings you to my office?” I asked. It was very unlike her. She had never set foot in my company as far as I was aware. “Don't flatter yourself,” she spoke harshly, her

Salma A part of me felt like a fool. I had allowed myself to get lost in lust with Brandon's green eyes and throaty sexy voice. I had allowed him to run his rough fingers over my skin, brushing against my nipples like… The honk of several cars behind me brought me out of my reverie. I could not think like this. I could not allow myself to fall for Brandon again, especially after the way he had treated me when I told him I was pregnant. But even as I tried to focus on the way he had hurt me, a moan escaped my mouth. I covered my mouth with one hand, embarrassed at myself for the sound I had just made. I tried to pull my attention back to the road so that I wouldn't lose focus, but it was difficult and slowly I could feel my thighs rubbing against each other. That was it. I found the nearest place I could park my car and took a short walk until I had my lust under control. I had been with several men after Brandon broke my heart but no one had ever given me such an explosive orgasm

Salma“I miss you Mommy!” I heard Leona's voice at the other end of the phone. She sounded excited though and not at all how she claimed, but I let her know that I missed her regardless. “When are you coming home, Mommy?” she asked me. “Very soon, love,” I told her“I thought it was tomorrow,” she drawled but I sighed. “I'm sorry, sweetheart,” I felt bad that we had to be so far apart from each other. “Be good to Aunt Jose, alright? Grandma will come pick you up tomorrow.”“Okay, Mommy.” “Good night, love. Sweet dreams.” “Good night, Mommy.” “Salma?” I heard Josephine's voice. “Josephine! Thank you so much for doing this.” “It's no worries, and you know that,” she replied. “But what do you mean you're not coming home tomorrow?” “I was offered a position at Baylor,” I said. “Head of the cardiology department.” “OMG!” she squealed. “That's huge.” “I know,” I replied, “in John Hopkins I'm just another attending but head of department? It's messing with my mind that they would
